How do you do that? I only see the speed slider, and it doesn't seem to respond to keystrokes.

Instagram used to be about seeing what my friends were up to; now it’s all my friends resharing made-for-IG takes and re-re-re-re-re-sharing group photos I’ve already seen seven times. I want an “OC Only” toggle. Edit: And the above was ref
